1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeCone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used in this study for evaluating the diameter, prevalence, spatial location, and risk factors of the accessory canal (AC) of the canalis sinuosus.

methodsA comprehensive assessment of the incidence rate, diameter, three-dimensional (3D) spatial location, and direction of travel of AC was performed on 1003 CBCT images. The CBCT data were used to reconstruct a 3D model of the maxilla to determine the alveolar bone volume. The obtained data were further analyzed and processed.

resultsAC was present in 50.1% of images. Male patients more frequently had ACs than female patients did (P < 0.01) and was positively correlated with the maxillary alveolar bone volume (P < 0.001, OR 1.532). Age or nasopalatine canal diameter were not significantly associated with the occurrence of AC (P > 0.05). Among the 502 patients with AC, AC was present on the left side, right side, and bilaterally in 189, 98, and 215, respectively. The maximum number of ACs observed per individual was eight. The average AC diameter was 0.89 ± 0.26 mm (minimum, 0.5 mm; maximum, 2.02 mm).

conclusionsAs the prevalence of AC and its trajectory display considerable variation among individuals, surgeons must consider the possibility of the presence of AC when devising surgical plans involving the anterior maxillary region.
